Indices: SENSEX & NIFTY

Stock Market performance is quantified by calculating an index using the benchmark scrips and as known to all SENSEX (Sensitive Index) is associated with Bombay Stock Exchange and S&P CNX NIFTY is associated with National Stock Exchange

HOW ARE INDICES OF SENSEX AND NIFTY CALCULATED???

How are the SENSEX 30 Stocks are selected?

Listing History Trading Frequency Rank based on the Market Cap (Should be Among top 100) Market Capitalization weight Industry / sector they belong Historical Record

SENSEX
SENSEX has been calculated since 1986 and initially it was calculated based on the Total Market Capitalization methodology and the methodology was changed in 2003 to Free Float Market Capitalization. Hence, these days, the SENSEX is based on the Free Floating Market cap of 30 SENSEX Stocks traded on the BSE relative to the base value which is 100(1978-79) and it is calculated for every 15 seconds.

SENSEX CALCULATION METHODOLOGY

 SENSEX is calculated using the "Free-float Market Capitalization" methodology, wherein, the level of index at any point of time reflects the free-float market It reflects value of 30 component stocks relative to a base period. The market capitalization of a company is determined by multiplying the price of its stock by the number of shares issued by the company. This market capitalization is further

How SENSEX is calculated?

The formula for calculating the SENSEX = (Sum of free flow market cap of 30 benchmark stocks)*Index Factor where, Index Factor = 100/Market Cap Value in 1978-79. 100 is the Index value during 1978-79.

Example:
Assume SENSEX has only 2 stocks namely SBI and RELIANCE. Total shares in SBI are 500 out of which 200 are held by Government and only 300 are available for public trading. RELIANCE has 1000 shares out of which 500 are held by promoters and 500 are available for trading. Assume price of SBI Stock is Rs.100 and Reliance is Rs.200. Then "free-Floating Market Cap" of these 2 companies =

(300*100+500*200) = 30000+100000 = Rs. 130000 Assume Market Cap during the year 1978-79 was Rs.25000 Then SENSEX = 130000*100/25000 = 520. The methodology in the example is exactly followed to calculate the SENSEX, only difference being the inclusion of 30 stocks.

Full form of S & P CNX NIFTY?

CNX stands for CRISIL NSE Indices. CNX ensures common branding of indices, to reflect the identities of both the promoters, i.e. NSE and CRISIL.

Thus, 'C' stands for CRISIL, 'N' stands for NSE and X stands for Exchange or Index.
The S&P prefix belongs to the US-based Standard & Poor's Financial Information Services.

NIFTY
The National Stock Exchange (NSE) is associated with NIFTY and it is also calculated by the same methodology but with two key differences.

1. Base year is 1995 and base value is 1000.

2. NIFTY is calculated based on 50 stocks.

Everything else remains the same in NIFTY Index calculation as well.

Benefits to Investor
1. Liquidity of the investment is increased 2. The securities dealt on a stock exchange are good collateral security for loans. 3. The stock exchange safeguards interests of investors through strict enforcement of rules and regulations.

Benefits to the company

1. A company whose shares quoted on stock exchange they enjoy better reputation and credit. 2. The market for the shares of such a company is naturally widened. 3. The market price of securities is likely to be higher in relation to its earnings, dividends and property values. This raises the bargaining power of the company in the event of a takeover, merger or amalgamation.

Risk Factors
Risk factors are the same associated with any of the stock exchange in the world. Markets can turn volatile at any point of time

ADJUSTMENTS FOR BONUS, RIGHTS AND NEWLY ISSUED CAPITAL

Adjustment for Bonus, Rights and Newly Issued Capital

SENSEX calculation needs to be adjusted for issue of Bonus or Rights shares, If no adjustments are made, a discontinuity would arise between the current value of the index and its previous value despite the non-occurrence of any economic activity of substance At the BSE Index Cell , the base value is adjusted, which is used to alter market capitalization of the component stocks to arrive at the SENSEX value.
